Actually in the DBZ dub they only did that for few times in the Cell Saga. And were only few times. Not something common in the dub.

Yeah, they did it in Kai 1.0 and was pretty worse than Super case. It was a catalan/french dub-level of non-dubbing screams. You could hear Sean Schemmel, Chris Ayres, Colleen Clinkenbeard, Dameon Clarke and other english dub actors all the time in battle scenes.
But, BKS, the studio that dubbed Kai 1.0, different of Álamo, Sigma or Unidub is a pretty cheap studio and luckly Toei doesn't work with them anymore for Dragon Ball projects.

Not only there but also in
this scene when Kale transforms for the first time. They go from dubbed screams, to the original japanese screams and back to dubbed screams again when Kale starts attacking Cabba. Pretty weird... If I remember correctly the brazilian dub never did that before or did it?
Yeah, it did, but a just a few times.
In Super, they didn't dubbed screams before in some ocasions:
- When Vegeta punchs Frieza in the Golden Frieza arc
- When Trunks slices Dabura in the flashbacks from episode 49
- When possessed Roshi fought Tien in episode 87
And then Kale transformed into Super Saiyan for first time, and when Frieza screamed before controlled U9's Hakai.
Some of the non-dubbed screams in Super dub reminds me the german dub, that did that sometimes but for artistical pickings and not cheapness as the old French dub for example. In the episode 78 of the original german dub, they didn't dubbed Frieza's screams when he transformed into the 2nd form and they did that because Ryusei Nakao's screaming in that scene was pretty good to be reached.
That can be applied to Yukana's scream when Kale transforms. That scream was pretty good, even if Samira Fernandes (Kale's brazilian VA) is actually good enough to scream too, but they just seemed to prefer to not dub it.
But in the current episodes they are dubbed all the screams. I don't remember an undubbed scream after the episode 96. Even Magetta, who was not dubbed before when he appeared in the U6 tournment (they just lefted Naoki Tatsuta's "ch-ppo" grunts) got a voice actor now in the ToP episodes.

Is a possibility. Carlos Campanile is in his 80's and maybe they want to preserve his vocal chords. That scene is pretty intense also, and if you are not in your prime, is probably very difficult to reach Ryusei Nakao's powerful performance in that moment.
But probably they will dub all of Frieza's screams in ToP, as they are doing now with all other characters.
